History Characters / HyruleConquestStalfos

* DecompositeCharacter: Maybe. The presence of Gabora's name on his sword indicates he was some form of Phantom Ganon in ''Twilight Princess', though the two are separate characters in ''Conquest''.

!!Stalfos Heroes

[[folder:Dampé]]
!!Dampé the Gravedigger
[[quoteright:256:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dampe.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:256:Frollo was right.]]
* AdaptationalIntelligence: He might be horribly inbred, but he is not as stupid as he seems.
* AdaptationalVillainy: A helpful and morally conscious character in canon. In ''Hyrule Conquest'', he actively brings help forth Stalchildren to do the necromancers' bidding.
* DisabledInTheAdaptation: Maybe. It's not exactly clear what his deal is in ''Ocarina of Time''. He could be inbred, old, or simply ugly. In ''Hyrule Conquest'', he is definitely deformed through inbreeding.
* EvilCripple: Downplayed. He seems to be able to get around and work, though with difficulity.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: How he manages to avoid suspicion.
* RaceLift: Hinted to be a Sheikah instead of Hylian.

[[folder:Gabora]]
!!Gabora
[[quoteright:256:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gabora.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:256:It doesn't matter whether he is a Goron or not. What matters is; where is Zubora?]]
* AdaptationalModesty: He doesn't show off as much of his muscle due to being more covered up.
* AdaptationalVillainy: In canon, Gabora is a helpful blacksmith who helps Link forge the Razor and Gilded Swords. Things seem to have taken a worse turn for him here.
* DealWithTheDevil: According to in-game descriptions, people still seek out Gabora's services long after his death, but at a cost.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: Downplayed. While he and Death Sword were rumored to be linked in the original games, there was ultimately no confirmation. Here, he is definitely Death Sword's blacksmith.
* UltimateBlacksmith: Such a competent and renowned blacksmith that not even death stops people from seeking him out.

[[folder:Meg]]
!!Meg
[[quoteright:256:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/meg_6.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:256:Who names a ghost Meg?]]
* DealWithTheDevil: In-game descriptions indicate necromancers seek out her services, though it's unclear as to what.
* RecursiveAdaptation: Her headpiece has been redesigned to be more in line with Cia, whose design was based on Meg.
* ShroudedInMyth: Not even the in-game description is sure as to how she ended up as she did.
* TomTheDarkLord: Meg. Just Meg.
!!Unique Unit: Lost Soul
[[quoteright:256:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lostsoul.png]]
[[caption-width-right:256:They don't walk on air, but they will walk over you.]]
Meg's unique unit available if she is chosen as a Hero.
* AdaptationNameChange: Simply called Stalfos in ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Ocarina of Time]]'', but renamed here to avoid confusion.
* CompositeCharacter: A [[DownplayedTrope really minor]] example, but their shields come from ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess Twilight Princess]]''.
* PraetorianGuard: An undead variation for Meg.

[[folder:Irene]]
!!Irene
[[quoteright:256:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/irene_8.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:256:She's literally just there to cause trouble.]]
* AdaptationalVillainy: There was nothing to suggest Irene had ill intent in ''A Link Between Worlds''. In ''Hyrule Conquest'', she seems to have taken a darker path.
* CuteWitch: Rather pretty for a necromancer.
* TokenHuman: Only one of the Stalfos heroes to not be an undead necromancer.
* ReplacementArtifact: Replaced Azrily/Malmord from ''Hyrule: Total War''.
!!Unique Unit: Blue Bubble
[[quoteright:256:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bluebubble.png]]
[[caption-width-right:256:[[TheJinx Don't jinx it.]]]]
Irene's unique unit available if she is chosen as a Hero.
* FlamingSkulls: And that's pretty much their design fully described.
* FlyingFace: As is tradition.
* TheJinx: Just like in their original appearances, they can jinx their enemies to prevent them from attacking.

[[folder:Blind]]
!!Blind the Thief
[[quoteright:256:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/blind.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:256:He needs tho thee a denthith.]]
* CompositeCharacter: Of both his variants from ''A Link to the Past'' and ''A Link Between Worlds''.
* {{Dracolich}}: After his return from the dead.
* FullBodyDisguise: Blind can disguise himself as anybody, with his favorite being young women.
* PunnyName: Robbed blind.
* ReplacementArtifact: Replaced Onox as the {{Dracolich}} of the faction, taking his bonuses and unique unit.
* TheDreaded: By the Sheikah for managing to steal from them.

!!Unique Unit: Staldra
[[quoteright:256:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/staldra.png]]
[[caption-width-right:256:It has enough eyes to technically be considered a spider.]]
Blind's unique unit available if he is chosen as a Hero.
* {{Dracolich}}: A {{mook|s}} variant excavated from deep caves.
* HealingFactor: Like the Gleeoks, they can regenerate their heads, making them that much harder to kill without a full contigent.

[[folder:Death Sword]]
!!Death Sword
[[quoteright:256:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/deathsword.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:256:A quintessential DarkLord.]]
* AdaptationalIntelligence: There was no real telling whether he was intelligent in ''Twilight Princess''. Here, he is the leader of the Stalfos.
* AdaptationSpeciesChange: Seemingly a phantom in the original games. Here, he is rumored to be an ancient Gerudo.
* DecompositeCharacter: Maybe. The presence of Gabora's name on his sword indicates he was some form of Phantom Ganon in ''Twilight Princess', though the two are separate characters in ''Conquest''.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Death Sword is certainly not a nice name.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: Downplayed. There were hints he was connected to Gabora in the original games but there was ultimately no confirmation. Here, they are directly connected.
* ReplacementArtifact: Replaced Akazoo after initial considerations to merge them.
!!Unique Units: Stalreaper and Redead Knight.
[[quoteright:512:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/stalreaper.png]]

* ColdFlames: The Stalreaper's blue fire.
* CompositeCharacter: The Stalreaper is a composite of the [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaPhantomHourglass Reapling]] and [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOracleOfAges Blue Stalfos]].

* OurHydrasAreDifferent: Smaller, stockier and deader.

* ReplacementArtifact: Replaced Azrily/Malmord from Hyrule: Total War.

* {{Dracolich}}: A [[{{Mooks}} mook]] variant excavated from deep caves.

* DecompositeCharacter: Maybe. The presence of Gabora's name on his sword indicates he was some form of Phantom Ganon in ''Twilight Princess', though the two are separate characters in Conquest.
